Were special forces planting bombs in Basra?

The simple, and quick answer to that question appears to be yes, in light of the numerous reports in the US media that those 2 Britons detained by Iraqi police last week in traditional Arab dress were arrested for planting bombs, as well as shooting at police and civilians. (Although the British media doesn't inform us about that) This article makes an interesting read, from Global Research:

The American journalist Dahr Jamail wrote in April 20, 2004 that the recent spate of car bombings in Baghdad was widely rumoured to have been the work of the CIA:
"The word on the street in Baghdad is that the cessation of suicide car bombings is proof that the CIA was behind them. Why? Because as one man states, ‘[CIA agents are] too busy fighting now, and the unrest they wanted to cause by the bombings is now upon them.’ True or not, it doesn’t bode well for the occupiers’ image in Iraq."

And we mustn't forget about the "Proactive Preemptive Operations Group", which attempts to "prod terrorists into action".
Exactly how many terrorists have been "prodded into action" by the US and Britain? Were any of those suspected of involvement with the London, or Madrid bombings "prodded into action". I think the citizens of both Britain and Spain deserve the answer to that question.
